The writing was well done, and the way the "supernatural" forces were introduced was great. A good, clean read for any age.It was an excellent story that I'm sure both adult and teen urban fantasy fans will enjoy. You don't have to be a gamer or know one to identify with the characters. They're very well developed and definitely feel like people. I would definitely recommend it to a friend and I'm really looking forward to the second book....the novel is written in such a languid style, it moves on effortlessly and absorbs the reader into the story completely. Although the story itself revolves around the online gaming industry, one does not have to have an in depth knowledge as it is ably explained and discussed within the plot line. OMGosh!

The writing was well done, and the way the "supernatural" forces were introduced was great. The characters, primarily Harry and Cristal, were developed and built up very well, and had enough detail about their lives for us readers to understand them as people, not just characters. Genuinely looking forward to read the rest of the series when it comes out!" - Melissa Greenberg, book reviewer"Doubt is book 1 of an intriguing and exciting trilogy by Anne-Rae Vasquez.

This gritty narrative which is fast paced and full of twists and turns is hard to put down till the end." - Cid Andrenelli, author of The Burqa Master "International intrigue, encryptions, and clandestine arrangements tumble together in this action-packed plot as young internet gamers use their skills to investigate who, or what, is behind the catastrophic events happening around the globe, led by this season's newest, and most brilliant, master-mind - Harry Doubt!"- Emily Hill, author of The Ghost Chaser's Daughter and the Ghost Stories series. From the AuthorWhat's behind the story? I wrote the first chapter after I woke up from a dream with a vivid image of the beginning of the end of the world. It was so clear in my mind that it frightened me. The only thing that gave me hope was that in the same dream, there was a group of young people who risked their lives banding together to try and save the world. Perhaps my dream was inspired by what I've seen in the news where young people around the world are fighting back against their governments' oppressive policies. This wave of 'Truth Seekers' is evident with the recent "Arab Spring" and other youth led revolutionary protests and peaceful activism against governments who resort to terror and bloodshed to suppress their voices. The book is also a tribute to two real truth seekers, Aaron Swartz and Harry Fear. When I was shaping the main character Harry Doubt, I was inspired by Aaron Swartz, an internet prodigy who contributed to the open source movement. I also was inspired by Harry Fear's courageous coverage of the conflict in the Middle East. I have taken this same theme of Truth Seeking and applied it to the fictional story 'Doubt'. Views: 42
